WOW.... Sabino Moisture Block video on YouTube

[STLCoverGirl]

Third times a charm......

Soo, I re-read this thread and got some excellent tips. I washed last night with CON and conditioned with Keracare Humecto. I left a little of the Humecto in my hair and didn't add an extra leave-in.

I added the SMB (two times about the size of a quarter) EXACTLY how the video shows and brushed through my hair. I then rollerset and flat ironed on 400 EXACTLY how the video shows as well.

I wrapped my hair and woke up this morning and ran two miles. I added a little EVOO after I took my wrap down, that's it. My hair is showing NO signs of reversion, it is straight and light, I love it.

I think the key for me is very little product. I like to add wayyyy too many products to my hair, because I like a lot of them, but they all don't work together for me. The last time I straightened with SMB, I added a lot of leave-in, plus EVOO, a ton of SMB, and some Hair Butter.

I am going to stick it out the next couple of days in this humidity, but the way things are looking, this product is a keeper!

Tried to add a pic.

Tried to add a pic.

I so wanted to see your pic too

 

[dlove]

Here are some pics from my usage:
Freshly washed, getting ready to partial air dry. Used Giovanni leave in and sealed with Amla Gold

so, one side is in progress blow-dry, the other is before blowdrying. MB has been added at this point

after blowdry and flatironing

Thats it. No other products added.

Girl, after I saw these pictures ^^^^^, I ran to the ordering page. I've been reading this thread and about 10 tons of reviews of this stuff. I'm going to order it right now.

I am also going to post results and pictures. I sure hope I like this stuff... Being a LHCF member and guillible = broke.
I wish I was one those "I'm sceptical people". I would have saved me some $$$$$ around here.

I need simple steps on how to use this.

I was thinking:

1. Wash
2. Condition
3. Cotton T- shirt Blot dry
4. apply Aveda Damage Control blow dry spray
5. Let air dry to 80%
6. Detangle and section off / plait hair into eight
7. Blow Dry each section
8. Lightly Spray glycerin and aloe vera mix
9. Apply SMB
10. Flat Iron

what is this for: Lightly Spray glycerin and aloe vera mix?

 

[Nice & Wavy]

Well, it only took me a few hours to read every single post in this thread....whew!

Now...I'm a believer! I just emailed the company for samples and I will be trying it out on my hair and let you all know how it turns out.

I do believe that the Maxiglide "The End" serum works well like this because every time I use it, my hair doesn't revert...stays straight too, just waves up a little, that's all.

But, I'm willing to try the SMB because it sounds like a miracle product and since I'm going to Jamaica next month, I'm hoping that this will be a product that I can use on my hair that will keep my hair the way I want it to be.

I will share my results here soon!

Oh, thats my daily moisturizer. I use it daily and seal with castor oil. See my thread entitled "THE VERY BEST MOISTURIZER..."

glycerin is a humectant though isn't it? MB is anti-humectant. you'll be pitting them against each other, not a good mix IMO.

 

[Wildchild453]

I got my order today and I'm itching to try it out.

 

[Nikki4ny]

I tried it last week but I think I used too much. My hair was heavy and not much movement. I think I will try it on dry hair next time, after I blow dry - before I flat iron. I usually tend to overdo it when I apply stuff to damp hair. I'm going to be in FL for a wedding sat. I have an appt at a salon down there friday morning. I'm going to take it with me and let her apply it and see if there is any difference in how it turns out for her. ...I'm all natural so I hope it holds up for 2 days til the weddings over. I will definately take pics when she's done and post them when I get back. I didn't like the way it turned out when I did it so no pics...

Update: I went to Sherrell at Images Salon in Sunrise,Fl. based on the salon reviews thread here(954-578-2187 Fort Lauderdale area) Thanks so much for that because she was really good, professional and left my hair swinging!

I took the MB with me and after she shampooed and cond. with Matrix Sleek Look she put a little less than a half dollar amount of Rusk smoother leave in conditioner.....she worked that through my hair and then she put about a nickel size amount of Sabino Moisture Block in her hands, rubbed them together and worked it into my hair then brushed it through to the ends. I was wondering if that was going to be enough. Then she blow dried me using a paddle brush and flat ironed.

When I got off the plane in FL it was so humid I could feel the moisture right away in my sandals and on my hands. I thought there is no way my hair is going to hold up all day friday and all day sat until the wedding sat night. Well it's now Monday and Im back in NC and my hair is still straight and swinging. Im all natural and my hair never holds a straight do for longer than 2 days in humidity...this stuff is great!

If it were me using the same products, I would try:

1. Wash
2. Condition
3. Cotton T- shirt Blot dry
4. Lightly Spray glycerin and aloe vera mix
5. Apply small amount of SMB
6. Detangle and section off / plait hair into eight
7. Blow Dry each section
8. Flat Iron

I just think you need a light leave-in under the SMB (whether you use the Aveda + glycerin aloe spray or just the glycerin aloe spray is up to you bc the SMB protects) and I think it should be applied to towel dried hair, not air dried hair. just my humble opinion...

you might want to try another moisturizing agent as a leave-in besides the glycerin and aloe mix, i dunno...sabino recommends just a little conditioner left over from the wash & condition...

Awesome!!! Yeah, my hair stayed straight while I was down in FL as well. I was really shocked. I had made sure to get those roots reallll good and I had zero reversion, even after sitting outside in humidity for hours.

This sounds much simpler. Do you think I will be able to get the smooth results with the flat iron doing these steps? I always thought you apply the product just before flat ironing. I even thought about applying the SMB twice- once before flat blow drying and once before flat ironing.

Lady Libra, I think you right about the aloe vera mix. Any suggestions of an all natural leave in-- listen at me, setting my self up to buy something else. I sure hope you suggest something I already have. I dont get the "leave a little conditioner in your hair after a rinse. What if one side or space is more rinsed out then the other?

Your hair looks great. So thick and healthy looking.

I truly think with this product, less is more. I think you will be able to get the smooth results you are looking for with these steps. Don't apply the SMB twice, it will give your hair a more greasy, weighed down feel.

What I do is completely rinse out my conditioner and then when I get out of the shower, I take about a half dollar sized amount of conditioner for my hair (APL) and apply it like a leave in all over. Then I take about a nickel sized amount of SMB (that's all I use for my whole head!) and apply on top of the conditioner, making sure to massage a little in my roots close to the scalp, bc that's where I get the most reversion. I then comb through my hair with a comb to completely saturate the hair with the products. You will be looking at your hair like is there anything on it. But, the product really comes through when you dry and apply the heat.

 

[Wildchild453]

So I tried this today on my WnG and I must say I think it will be a keeper. It made my hair feel extra soft and moisturized, like it trapped all the goodness in. Usually by midday my hair still feels soft but with a hit of crispy-ness but today it didn't get like that to way in the evening and when I took my hair down it was silky near the roots.

I see a staple in my life. I simply WnG with some V05(which I hate) and used some QB Burdock Root conditioner then MB. Love it!!!

 

[Nikki4ny]

To: DLove,
Nope she didn't put anymore in..just the nickel size after the half dollar size condish I didn't think it would be enough either....but that's probably why it came out so heavy and stiff when I did it..I used about 2 half dollars the first time....

Yes it is!!!! I have not posted on this in a while - I think mostly because I am totally sold on the stuff.....

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!! Another natrual with spectacular results!

don't rinse... SQUEEZE the excess out. or, rinse completely and add a little teeny bit back in if you want total control.

 

[MissMeWithThatIsh]

Maybe I still need to work on my technique, but the Sabino is done with.

I've been working out and I've kept my hair wrapped under my wig and the roots have reverted...

Maybe I used too little product... but I didn't want the sticky hair thing.

 

[ResultsMayVary]

Got my sample in today ... I will be trying this sometime next month .. I currently have a partial wavy sew in which is making this transition a breeze ~ only for the current moment LoL~ (5 months Post!)

 

[AngelDoll]

My sample is on th way, but I will not be able to try it anytime soon.

Your hair growth is fabulous? Why aren't you trying it? Just not straightening now? It really is a great product.

Thank you.

I will not be straightening my hair again until my birthday in October. Since everybody is saying how great the moisture block is, I might as well go ahead and purchase it. Then again, I better wait awhile because I know that I will be tempted to use it if I have it readily available.

 

[malachi74]

Okay so I've just finished reading almost every page of this thread. I emailed the company and now I'm patiently waiting for the day my sample arrives. The last time I flat-ironed was in March. I can't wait!

 

[The Girl]

Over a week but no samples yet.

 

[LilBrownied]

I asked for samples about a month ago. I think the post office confiscated it.

 

[Chromia]

I e-mailed them 10 days ago asking for a sample. Diane responded 2 days later asking me to e-mail Victor with any questions once I receive my samples. Hopefully they'll arrive this week.

Yeah I think they got mine too
